Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park
About 12 miles east of Jackson is this intriguing state park. There is a campground and a large glade surrounded by mountains. In this pleasant valley we find a display of bark houses. These resemble Teepees but they are built of cedar poles and bark interwoven with willow or grapevines. These are the style of homes built by the Miwok peoples who lived here.
